> 3 dayPros 1. Worked great out of the box 2. menu system intuitive 3. nice style 4. power light easy to see, but dispersed below viewsonic symbol so it is not annoying in any way. 5. driver set up was easy 6. device/screen always cool to the touch. Cons Havent found any yet, this is a great desk monitor for everyone who doesnt care that colors are perfect, but most cant tell the difference anyhow. Edit: Been using for a while, there is massive interference in the headphone jack relay. Since I own two of these monitors, the interference is highly noticeable on both. Basically, you just cant use the headphone jack relay. Not only does it not transfer the audio volume well, but anything past 40% volume in the monitor setup wizard creates pulsating interference. 4/5 because of audio problem and it just doesnt make sense to put a monitor without perfect colors as a 5/5.

> 3 dayI was in a bit of a jam on Friday April 11. I woke up that day and opened my trusty MacBook Pro, and thats when I heard it. A sound. A bad sound. A horrible, gut-wrenching sound that was somewhat akin to a meat grinder creating a pile of sausages for some kind of sausage party. And that sound was coming from my laptop. After running around in pure panic for a little while, I decided that no matter what was going on, it was time to replace my 5-year-old computer. So, I purchased a great Mac mini (i7 quad core with 8GB RAM), but then needed something to see the computer do its thing. A monitor, if you will. I looked at Apples monitor offering... a $999 monstrosity that Im sure is very nice. But I wasnt going to spend that kind of money. I work in graphic design among other areas of marketing, so a good monitor is pretty darn important to my life. Back in the days of CRT monitors, Id used a ViewSonic, and had nothing but good experiences with them. But that was in the 90s, and a lot changed since then. Like my hairline, and waistband. The monitor arrived very quickly. I am always amazed at how fast things arrive from Amazon, even though I almost always opt for the free shipping. I put in the included power cable, then plugged it into the Mac mini using a single HDMI cable that Id purchased for the occasion. I fired up the computer and presto-bango, the monitor roared to life. Well, it didnt roar, really. It quietly came on, and I was impressed right away. Everything was nice and crisp. I tested out some high-res graphic files, and colors looked really good. Lets be frank: this isnt one of ViewSonics best monitors, nor is it designed for graphic work. Its a gaming monitor designed for people who want a nice 24 screen without spending big money. The build quality is decent, but you can see that not a lot of work went into making the areas where the cable connect very pretty. My answer to that? Who cares! Its a nice monitor that cost very little. I use it for everything from print ad creation through video editing through web design, and it works just fine. Ive also used it to watch movies, and play games (as it was intended). Everything functions just fine. All pixels are happily lit. The stand does its job, though theres not much adjustability to it. Considering the price, I have no complaints, and would recommend this to anyone who, like me, wants a pretty good monitor without spending a ton of cash.

Greater than one weekFor the price I paid to give my mother a modern monitor for her computer, I am pretty impressed. All of your standard inputs are here: DVI-D, VGA, and HDMI, along with a 3.5mm audio input. At 1920x1080, the picture is sharp enough at a distance of about 3 feet away. The colors are initially a little washed out from out of the box, but futzing with the settings produced a picture that I would consider optimal for competitive gaming (using DVI so far), along with the very low 2ms response time of the panel, it would serve any starting gamer with the best product for the money. My mother is using this for more screen space for work in her home office, which has passed with flying colors in her initial tests (web browsing, sorting through pictures, writing up product descriptions, publishing websites, etc.). Pros: Wide selection of inputs for 1080p sources Very quick and easy setup out of the box (throw out the disk, you wont need it) Well packaged and secure within the box Included DVI-D and VGA cables in the box Great response time Relatively cheap for a good quality panel Matte screen Cons: Colors are still a little washed out after messing with settings Audio is horrible on the built-in speakers Very shiny, fingerprint prone bezel (easily fixed with a quick wipe-down) Final thoughts: I would recommend buying this for any small home office/business office, noob gamers getting into PC gaming, or for students needing extra screen space for editing/creating documents.

> 3 dayI had an early ViewSonic 24 LED monitor that had lived past its prime, so getting another ViewSonic was a no brainer as a replacement. I dont use it for gaming, but use it for streaming and normal Internet use. It came well packaged, with the plastic portions protected with plastic tape that is easy to remove. Took me all of about 5 minutes to screw on the base plate, plug in the HDMI and insert the audio speakers into the microphone port. That puts the sound through the external speakers. The monitor plugs directly into my outlet strip, not needing a transformer. Cables are provided if one does not utilize a HDMI connection. HDMI cable is not provided. I utilize the Amazon brand cable.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor as a replacement monitor and to possibly use in a dual-monitor setup. The reason I chose this particular model was because of price and the inclusion of HDMI input. It happened to go on sale so I swooped on the deal price and I have to say that Im pretty pleased with my purchase. I dont game much on my PC, so I cant speak much for that aspect, I was mainly wanting to purchase this as a casual use monitor with HDMI ports in case I wanted to plug in a gaming console every now and then and this fits the bill. For the bit of gaming that I actually use this for, it works great. the response time is good and the colors are fine, but not the best. Speakers are what youd expect from built in 2w speakers(garbage), but anyone that knows electronics should know that from the specs. I have my external speaker system for that though, so these speakers dont even get used aside from when I initially tested them. All in all, this is a very adequate monitor considering the price compared to others with similar features.

> 3 dayGood picture quality. Im using this as a third monitor on my triple monitor stand on my desk, but using it now just as a TV. I wanted to have all three monitors match in size and style. I have no complaints about the monitor itself, but the speakers are too weak to be used for a TV or for gaming. Also, the controls are not very intuitive, and the monitor does not come with a remote. You have to push a couple buttons to get to the volume control, then you have to manually exit out of the menu. Like I said, Im using it as a TV, which is not really what a straight monitor is for, so these complaints might not apply to everyone. Thats why I still gave the monitor four stars. For the price, the picture quality is great. But the speakers are weak and the button controls are not very intuitive, no matter what youre going to use this product for.

> 3 dayI use two of these monitors daily at work for CAD work as well as programming machines. The screens provide crisp images of what I am working on. I enjoy viewsonic screens more then any brand. Viewsonic is easy to work with as well. Last year one of my monitors that I purchased from Amazon developed some dead pixels. All I needed to do was contact viewsonic, email pics of the issue I was having and I was told to send it to them and they would take care of it. A few days later a brand new replacement monitor arrived at my place of work. Very happy with their customer service. Viewsonic monitors have a 3 year warranty period, I had owned the monitor for two and a half years. Will continue to buy viewsonic monitors, once you pick one up and use them on a daily basis as I do, you will notice how inferior other monitors are compared to viewsonic.

> 3 dayDont do gaming. Average computer use. The picture/screen quality are really good. I do a lot of detailed work in color and the product is excellent for those uses. Speakers are weak. Even at high audio, its sometimes hard to hear. Will augment with another speaker system as this isnt quality. Like the pictures, though!

> 3 dayBought this 3 years as a secondary monitor, and its still going strong. Its nothing fancy, but price wise, at the time it was great. Viewsonic has always done all right by me, will always buy their products. Highly recommended if it was 2019. Will use until it dies.

> 3 dayI’ve used View Sonic monitors in the past and always been pleased with them. No problems; they worked right out of the box, for many years. Main reason I bought this monitor was the View Split software – I had enough problems with a 2 monitor setup that it was time to go back to 1, and with the software to create partitions on my screen, this was a bonus, and exactly what I needed. That’s when the problems started. The View Split zip file was terrible. According to my IT professional friend – the zip was poorly made. It was only thanks to my IT friend that I was even able to extract and finally use the software. She commented on how poor the zip file was created. I’ve been working with computers for many years and when I have problems extracting a simple zip file and need help to extract it? You know there’s something wrong with it. Never in all my years of working with computers have I had problems extracting folders from a zip file – until now. I gave this monitor a 4 star review because of the view split software. Yes, it finally worked, but not without a lot of unnecessary time spent trying. Pros: 24” size; colors are sharp, crisp and true. Delivery was in 1 day. Outstanding. Monitor was packed well. VGA, DVI, audio and power cables included in the box. Cons: View Split software zip poorly made. The 1 piece of paper that passes for a “manual” was a joke. Font so small I would’ve needed a microscope to view it – so it was useless. I did download a better manual for this monitor separately and used it instead.
